How do I fix GHSA-6hvg-62q8-95v7?

Update svg_optimizer to 0.3.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-6hvg-62q8-95v7 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-6hvg-62q8-95v7 in my RubyGems dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for svg_optimizer, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-6hvg-62q8-95v7 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-6hvg-62q8-95v7?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-6hvg-62q8-95v7 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-6hvg-62q8-95v7 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-6hvg-62q8-95v7 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-6hvg-62q8-95v7?

GHSA-6hvg-62q8-95v7 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 30th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

When was GHSA-6hvg-62q8-95v7 published, and has it been updated?
